I'm ashamed for so many of our people.

[headsonpikes]

Oh, it's a good bet she floats."

She's a filled-out girl; raised on the Breakfast of Champions, evidently.

" The image of my mother -- wan and emotionally distraught -- as she left the federal courthouse just over five years ago will be forever fixed in my memory. "
If my memory serves me correctly this emotionally distraught mom had at the time a quote that went something like "So what's the big deal. She b..w the president and then lied about it."

[spodefly]

Among the many lessons Ms. Lewinsky never learned is one about "reaping what you sow" ...

This is who Monica's mom is now married to:

R. Peter Straus, age 74, is a New York Democratic fundraiser and publisher with a slightly less glittering string of political appointments (assistant administrator for Africa of AID, director of Voice of America). Straus is also an amateur opera buff, which is how he met [Monica's mom] Marcia Lewis (she wrote a book on the Three Tenors).

Link.

Looks like servicing Democrats with "airs" is in the blood.

Just when you think the liberal press can not stoop any lower they come up with this piece of crap. The liberals are trying to rehabilatate every body in the Clinton scandals. Unbelievable.

I've seen "Monica" brand cigars in gas stations.

[NativeNewYorker]

Ick!

But without a formal parent-child privilege, a dodgy prosecutor is free to disregard the department's guidance -- which is exactly what happened in my case.

Right, Monica. The prosecutor is "dodgy", and you are the frightened, forthcoming, and sympathetic victim. We got it.

[ShotgunWillie]

What's Clinton's tory?

[ChemistCat]

I agree with all of you ABOUT Ms. Lewinsky, but I also agree with "her" point.

[Oztrich Boy]

Anybody miss the good old days when nice girls didn't tell their mothers about the men they gave blow-jobs?

[ladyinred]

Good grief Monica. You're whining is getting very old. It didn't torture your Mother to sit in a fancy hotel room and tell what she knew about you and Bill Clinton. What makes you think you are so above everyone else who has to testify? You committed a crime for Heaven's sake.
You'd think Monica would be ashamed and keep her big mouth shut and go on with her life.

It's her high protein diet.

Also "Don't kiss and tell..."

"...our system actually undermines the very values it extols."

"What does it say about us that we have yet to recognize the sanctity of the relationship..."

"We have a husband-wife privilege..."

Monica spouts about sanctity and values? How utterly obtuse!

[mewzilla]

Figgers the Chron would give the Portly Pepperpot a forum.

[NativeNewYorker]

Monica spouts...

That really was the only unanswered question, wasn't it? :)
